The Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference recently honored state Sen. Ken Yager for his work in the Senate.

Yager received the award at a meeting of the group attended by district attorneys statewide.

“We greatly appreciate the tireless work and steadfast commitment of Sen. Yager to first understand, and then develop workable solutions, to some very difficult crime problems,” said James W. Kirby, executive director of the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference.
